Últyrka Flœrníva
Conservative Party

The election was the first general election victory for Conservative since 2001, and ended the Liberal' 16-year tenure as the primary governing party. The Conservatives won 192 seats, which was an increase of 106 seats compared to the election in July last year. The Liberal Party, meanwhile, dropped by 92 seats to become the second largest political force. The Union Party disappeared to make way for the Nationalist Party, although it dropped by 48 seats. The Republican Party, a new addition to the list, performed exceptionally well, taking 81 seats, mostly occupied by Liberals. The Social Democratic Party, a new party in the Liberal-Democratic coalition, won 43 seats, while the party led by Lauzeningks won 10 more. The Socialist Party, the name change for Azgedal Shilaik's party, dropped to 19 seats. Finally, the new Independent Party of Kladymron won 55 seats to make up the total of 675.

No party obtained the majority necessary to form a government to nominate a Prime Minister, but under the conservative-nationalist-republican coalition a government was formed led by Últyrka Flœrníva. The leader of the nationalist party Várkštal Heltrýník was chosen as foreign minister, while the leader of the Republican party Nýthør Krælmýsk was chosen as defence minister given his military background.

The general elections had a turnout of 91.65% of registered voters, the highest turnout in the last 25 years.

The Conservatives entered the election with a lead over the Liberals in opinion polls, and the potential scale of the party's victory was a topic of discussion during the campaign period. The economy, healthcare, education, infrastructure development, environment, housing, energy, immigration, and standards in public office were the main campaign topics. These elections were the first under the new constitution of 2 December 2024, which provides for bicameralism and the election of the Prime Minister to replace the President of Kyivska Rus. In addition, the form of representative election through regional parliaments was abolished in favour of direct elections. It was also the first election to be held taking into account the new powers of the different state groups. The King is expected to elect the House of Lords in the coming days. The Kyivska Rus regions will hold their regional elections on Friday, December 6, 2024.

The elected representatives will be sworn in by the king on December 7, 2024, at the session that is expected to elect the members of the new constitutional court.
